How these rates are calculated

Period: Oct 18, 2024 – Oct 18, 2026. Vehicle rate = vehicle inspections with a vehicle out-of-service order ÷ vehicle inspections (levels 1, 2, 5 and 6). Driver rate uses levels 1, 2, 3 and 6. The Montana average covers 4,992 vehicle and 8,429 driver inspections of all Montana-based carriers in this period. It mixes every type of operation, so compare with care; rates based on a handful of inspections say little. FMCSA's own SMS measures are weighted differently: SMS profile ↗ · SAFER snapshot ↗

Questions about PBE HOLDINGS LLC

What does PBE HOLDINGS LLC's operating authority allow?

FMCSA records show no active operating authority for PBE HOLDINGS LLC (MC264836), so it may not haul regulated interstate freight for hire or broker loads under these dockets.

Which information about PBE HOLDINGS LLC is old or missing?

Operating authority is the last known status from the FMCSA snapshot of May 14, 2026, not a current check. No insurance filings were found in the public data. There are too few vehicle inspections in the last 24 months to judge the out-of-service rate.

What should I verify before booking PBE HOLDINGS LLC?

Confirm the authority and insurance on the Motus record for USDOT 526160. Call the company back on the phone number on file, (406) 679-1768, not a number from an email or load board message. Check that the MC number the dispatcher gave you matches MC264836, and ask the insurer for a certificate of insurance naming you as holder, with cargo coverage that fits your load.
